The condo was perfect. Next door to my work conference at the State Lodge. The indoor pool was under construction/repair and didn’t have chance to soak in the hot tub. The condo was exceptionally clean and stocked with anything you may need to cook with. Except for a ninja smoothie blender. I was aware and brought my own travel size. The Keurig was perfect. Ice maker was nice. We never had to purchase ice for our beach coolers. Was there for a 5 night stay. Three adult women, my mom, myself and my daughter. The balcony is so roomy. We would sit out there at night after returning from exploring every day until we went to bed. Never had the television on the entire trip. We loved it. The owners were great when we needed assistance when booking. Everything is exactly as advertised.

Early Spring Break “March”

If you want a nice quiet place to take young kids on Spring Break outside of the High School hustle this is the place and Beach to do it at!Condo owners are Exceptional and the atmosphere is perfect. Only 1 hour from the USS Alabama and the Nature park is just down the road.If you like to walk to areas it is 1.2 miles from all the nightlife you could want!

I love the location, being beside the state park means the beach is not as crowded and you can get to restaurants and activities in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach easily. The condo was nice and the owners were readily available for questions and concerns.

Overall acceptable but the couch needs to be replaced. Very uncomfortable for sitting. Did not use the pullout bed in the couch so not sure how it laid. Fine for two but wouldn’t try to put 6 in there unless 4 were kids.

Beach trip before knee surgery

This property was nasty when we got there had to clean the showers the counter top take out the trash and clean the toilets the front balcony was nasty and there was dog hair in the living room the balcony chairs were cheap and we're definitely too low so you had to look through the bars to see the ocean I will say the condo had good water pressure and a good coffee machine the bed was old and too hard and the sheets were something that my grandmother might have put on this condo has so much better possibilities than what we experienced

Review

Stay was very good. Had everything you would expect in the room. Only negatives were minor. Smoke alarm went off several times in the middle of the night for no reason. Facility gym only had two treadmills and not a gym. Wifi was not good and made it very difficult to communicate with our baseball team for updates or look things up while in the room. Some of these things may not apply to everyone. Overall it was good but feel the price point is a bit high compared to other that stayed closer to the main part of the strip.

Great location

This condo is in a great location. Beach is not crazy packed and you have plenty of room. Everything is close and easily accessible. The only thing I had a problem with is the supposed “beach storage” that the complex has. DO NOT use it. People allegedly believe it’s a lost and found or communal beach equipment. All of our beach stuff we stored there on the first day was gone when we came to get set up on the beach. My kids were devastated. I was able to get our beach chairs back and a couple of sand toys but lost multiple scoops, shovels, nets and water toys. Other than that experience, we enjoyed the condo.
